H3 North style Hummer h3 modified for off-road. Russia, Kamchatka.

[lsv_palana]

Hello dear friends. I have H3 v8 5.3 2008. Last year i have decided to convert my h3 to more off-road. I bought rancho kit. Create wheel fenders by myself. I have weilded front and rear bumpers from 3 mm steel and power rails for hi-lift. Now i m thinking about roof rack with offroad lamps.







But this is not my main goal. Few days ago i have returned from very tough raid on Kamchatka. We have crossed Kamchatka from south to north withouts any roads. Hummer shows himself fine. Eats 35 liters of fuel for 100 km. 100 km of mega offroad we have maked for 10-12 hours. In the jorney i have break right drive axle while towing friend from swamp with front locker on, and bent front crossmember. By the way. With front locker and 4hblock i have returned home.
I decided to think about two things:
1. Make SOA for rear
2. Install solid front axle.

This two things for me more complicated then making bumpers or any other. I think i must have some guide with measurements.. maybe someone can help me with detalied guide for do this ? Or maybe there are ready kits for do this ?

In Russia we have no kits and we do everything by ourselfs. But, i think for hummer must be kit for making soa and fron axle swap.

Sorry for my bad english.

Welcome from the USA. I have done a the solid axle swap and a spring over and if you speak with "4speedfunk" you will be able to get some stuff for a solid front axle.

Welcome. You have a great H3. Your bumpers look strong and good. And do not be concerned with your English; it is fine. I'd like to find fender flares like yours for my H3T.

I make these fenders by myself. First from plasticine, then from fiberglass. Painted by upol Raptor. Have a plan to paint whole car (including fenders) with line-x.

Very nice H3

Welcome.

That H3 is all kinds of sexy! Very nice job on it. I'd love to see how those side steps are built, they look very stout and useful (I have three little girls, now that I have the OEM sliders on they have a much harder time getting in).

Nice truck, nice journey. Welcome!

Welcome! That's an awesome H3, and great job on the design/fabrication. Looks great!

I've had a similar idea for a rear winch bumper that I hope to get to at some point.

welcome to the forum... Like what you done with your rig. browse around a bit there is a few soa swaps on here, no step by steps but they got some pictures in them . An soa dana 44 front is on my list , probably gonna do a spring over as opposed to a 4 link / 3 link.

what kind of birds you got there?

Those fender flairs are awesome!

Very nice job on all the custom work! I especially like the fender flares and the rear winch bumper, very tough, looks ready to handle anything the Russian winters can throw at it.

Nice 3!

Impressive! I really like the look of the bumpers on your H3.

Would like a couple pic's of the spare tire carrier as well, looks as it's a swing away unit mounted to the bumper?
